02. Viewing Maps on Mobile Devices

Introduction

Starting in TaroWorks 4.0 mapping functionality is available which allows you to see the location associated with records in a View Data Task on a map on your mobile device. The following topics will be covered in this article:

A. Creating the View Data Task - In order to view a record on a Map, it must have a geolocation associated with it, and those coordinates must be made available in the Hiearchy Drill-Down.

B. Viewing Records on Maps - In order to view maps offline, you'll need to download an application called MAPS.ME and the relevant map data.

You can now click View All Records on map from the record list and all the records will be displayed on a map.

You can also select a record from the list and click View Record on Map to view only that record's location.

Conclusion

Maps are a great way to visualize the geographic data associated with the information you've gathered with TaroWorks. We are continuing to develop this functionality. If you have related needs specific to your organization, feel free to leave a comment below!
